The incompetent, simple-minded atrocity in the White [Supremacy] House is ensuring that Americans will risk revenge killings for generations.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Great reporting!

The U.S. government says its agents are under attack. The claims reached 380 million views on X.

Yet none have been convicted at trial.

The Department of Homeland Security, created in 2002 to protect Americans, has turned its force against citizens.

The president who took us to a war nobody wanted (and is covering for powerful pedophiles) is now holding our government hostage until Congress passes a law that makes it easier for him to maintain power

Imagine if this were happening in another country

Trump has talked about his Iran war is following the Venezuelan model, which means seizing control of the country, leaving a murderous regime in place and seizing the oil for his own self-enrichment.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran.

Sure am feeling a lot less safe under this regime 😑
